This is a little strange. As far as I knew, the photography business was owned & run
by Luther Von Heichert (1853-1902), who was born near New Castle, IN. Luther's wife
was Margaret Peninah Morrison (1855-1895), a sister of my grandfather James William
Morrison (1853-1925). They had 1 child, Clara Heichert, who married Charles Silverthorn.
In my database I do have a brother of Luther named Oscar - from your data, he must have
been in business with Luther, perhaps on the artistic side. Their father was a John
Heichert, married to Roberta Clunk, both of PA. I have some undigested
Heichert/Silverthorn material that may yield more info when analyzed. Heichert photos are
well known in Clinton Co. -- see Helen Grove's book on Frankfort.
